Exploring the Relationship Between Vertical Jump and Short Sprint Performance in Female Basketball Players
Source abstract
Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the relation between vertical jump and short sprint. A total of 14 female basketball players (n = 14; age: 20.9 ± 6.0 years; height: 177.0 ± 3.0 cm; body mass: 69.0 ± 11.1 kg) were assessed for Abalakov jump (ABKJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), and a 20 m sprint. The relationships between sprint and vertical jumps were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and lineal regression, while discriminative parameters between backcourt and frontcourt players were assessed using independent t-tests. Higher associations were found between vertical jumps and sprint parameters, particularly CMJ height, showing a strong correlation with sprint time in 0–10 m (r = 0.805), 10–20 m (r = 0.798), and 0–20 m (r = 0.822). Jump metrics could provide a valid and reliable alternative for estimating sprint times over short distances in female basketball players. This finding could be an efficient alternative to save time in evaluations for team sports.
